Hi @Sivaraman Selvaraj

Thank you for reaching out. Since you’re using Azure DevOps, your Azure Static Web App deployment is managed through your Azure Pipelines YAML file (typically azure-pipelines.yml), where you can update settings like app_location, api_location, and output_location. Microsoft provides documentation for these build configuration options here: Build configuration for Azure Static Web Apps.

In Azure DevOps, navigate to Pipelines > Pipelines, select your pipeline, and click Edit to modify the YAML. Instructions for using the YAML editor, including Validate and save, are available here: YAML pipeline editor guide.

If your YAML includes the AzureStaticWebApp@0 task, you can find the supported inputs to adjust here: AzureStaticWebApp@0 task reference.

Once you save and commit your YAML changes, rerun the pipeline, and your Static Web App deployment will use the updated configuration.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Please "upvote" if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.

Hi @Sivaraman Selvaraj

Thank you for the update. The file azure-static-web-apps-ambitious-flower-081b7c70f.yml is a GitHub Actions workflow file located in .github/workflows/, and it can’t be edited directly from the Azure Static Web App resource in the portal. According to Microsoft, GitHub Actions uses files named azure-static-web-apps-<RANDOM_NAME>.yml, while Azure DevOps uses an Azure Pipelines YAML file, typically named azure-pipelines.yml.

If you’re deploying with Azure DevOps, update your pipeline YAML (the one with AzureStaticWebApp@0) and adjust the app_location, api_location, and output_location as necessary. Task
If you’re using GitHub Actions, edit the workflow file directly in your repository under .github/workflows/.

To change your workflow file in Azure Static Web Apps, you can follow these steps:

Access Your Repository: Navigate to your GitHub repository where the Azure Static Web App is linked.
Locate the Workflow File: The workflow file is typically located in the .github/workflows directory of your repository. Look for a file with a .yml or .yaml extension.
Edit the Workflow File: Open the workflow file in the GitHub editor. You can make the necessary changes to the configuration as needed. This may include modifying build settings, environment variables, or deployment configurations.
Commit Changes: After making your changes, commit the changes to your repository. This will trigger the GitHub Actions workflow to run with the updated configuration.
Verify Changes: You can check the Actions tab in your GitHub repository to monitor the status of the workflow execution and ensure that your changes are applied correctly.

For more detailed information on configuring the workflow file, you can refer to the Azure documentation on build configuration.
